Dandelion Music.

Andrew Lawrence MA (Musicology), PGCE (Music) is a practising community musician running choirs, workshops and short-term music projects in the Bristol area. With 16 years’ experience working with young people in music and community projects, 4 years’ experience as a secondary school music teacher and 4 years’ experience as a dad, Andrew uses a variety of approaches to create immersive musical experiences for all.

Philosophy

Dandelion Music is the music that grows up in the cracks in the pavement, spontaneous, joyful, and robust. Dandelion Music follows these principles:

Everyone is musical!
Music is communication - playing or singing together transcends language
There’s no age limit on music
Music happens in community and creates communities
Musicking together is fun

It is my hope that you create your own dandelion music whilst matching the beeps of the pelican crossing, or whilst making up laundry songs with your toddlers, or whilst singing half-remembered pop songs in the shower.

Here are the programmes Dandelion Music currently offers:
